Art Deco Lamps and Reverse Painted Lighting

06 Mar

Art Deco reverse painted lighting is a unique way to update your current light fixtures and introduce a new and exciting architectural style into your home. The art deco movement was first popular in the early twentieth century and focused on using geometric shapes and modernism in design. As a movement Art Deco design became extremely popular not only in art but in architecture, interior design and even fashion. By replacing your older fixtures with art deco lighting you can mix and match a variety of designs throughout your home while creating a common theme.

Reverse painted lighting is glass that has been painted on the interior and then viewed from the outside. When this process is used images are painted in reverse order, with the details and highlights applied first and then midtones and shadows applied last. When used in lighting the colors of the design add subtle tones to the light in the room. The art deco patterns add wonderful new designs and vibrancy to any room. These fixtures are typically constructed out of solid brass with glass fixtures.

Art Deco reverse painted light fixtures are produced today – allowing you to easily incorporate them into your home. It is a simple way to enhance a previous design style or introduce a whole new architectural style in any room. When selecting any new light fixture for your house be sure to follow a few simple steps. First, make sure to check the maximum wattage bulb that can be used with any fixture. Second, replace older light switch covers with new art deco style covers to further tie together your new theme. Door, cabinet and other home hardware is available in the art deco style as well, which can help further create a common theme.

Art Deco reverse painted lighting is readily available online as well as in many home decorating catalogs. Search for solid brass construction and be sure to ask questions. When you work with the Art Deco movement you can be sure that different shapes and combinations will tie themselves together nicely. These Art Deco light fixtures can be found online through LookInTheAttic & Company and they also offer free design assistance and help.

Help me with my bedroom?

28 Feb

Currently my bedroom has dark wooden floors, white furniture, light green walls and black and white art deco style curtains. A little boring if you ask me. I find myself developing a growing love for the cluttered antique styles; dark green velvet, silks, leather sofas, antique lamps. I’m not bothered about trawling through ebay to find the right things, but where do I start? What do I need to do to get it all going? Is it important to plan it out, or do these rooms develop naturally with time? Any more items that would give my room this feel would also be a help [: Thankyou x

i completely changed my room and decorated it with a morrocan theme, the first thing i did was paint my walls, then i bought a new bed and got rid of the stuff i didnt want, then bought more morrocan style stuff to go with my room, then bought loads od satin to decorate my ceiling, you do have to plan it out, dont worry if it doesnt go according to plan it just helps knowing that you have a plan there, search on the internet for the type of theme, i found that help me a lot, also i used to watch mtv cribs a lot and felt really inspired by mariah careys crib and took some ideas from that, just do loads of research

good luck

Look at bedrooms in HGTV and and see if there is anything you might like thats not in your bed room. Make sure you know what you want and can afford it. Like getting some thing with a leg broken isn’t bad its great you can but legs at hardware stores. Repaint an old drawer add new drwer pulls or repaint the one on it. Just start looking

 
 

Lights and textures in Real-Draw Pro (20th C. Ltd poster)

24 Feb

A Real-Draw Pro tutorial involving shapes and lights with a touch of bevel and texture fills. This tutorial uses Leslie Ragan’s famous Art Deco poster of the New York Central 20 th Century Limited train. The engine cladding by Henry Dreyfuss turned a standard steam engine into an iconic, streamlined symbol of 30s design.

The tutorial covers basic steps in making the engine cladding, briefly touches on the rail and ballast, and gives a few hints on representing the steam plume in the sky.

We copy Leslie, but then (as you’ll see in the tutorial) Leslie copied an NYC publicity photo. It’s commercial art, folks, where everyone copies everyone and everything.
